A Senior Threat Analyst role with genuine influence

I'm working with a highly respected UK organisation looking for an experienced Senior Threat Analyst to play a key role in shaping its Cyber Threat Intelligence capability.

This isn't just an analysis role.

We're looking for someone who can take complex threat intelligence, understand what it actually means for the organisation, and communicate that clearly to people who aren't cyber security specialists.

You'll have regular exposure to senior stakeholders, delivering executive briefings and turning intelligence into clear, practical recommendations that influence security decisions.

The role is UK-wide, with just 2 days per month in Manchester. You don't need to live in Manchester, although being within a reasonable commuting distance is preferred as there may occasionally be a requirement to attend during a significant cyber security incident or emergency.

What you'll be doing

• Lead the collection, analysis and correlation of threat intelligence from internal, external and OSINT sources.

• Produce tactical, operational and strategic threat assessments covering threat actors, TTPs, IOCs and emerging threats.

• Deliver executive-level threat briefings, translating technical intelligence into business impact, risk and recommended actions.

• Build strong relationships with senior stakeholders and confidently communicate cyber risk to non-security audiences.

• Act as a trusted adviser, helping stakeholders understand what the threat means, why it matters and what they should do about it.

• Support incident investigations and response with threat intelligence and adversary context.

• Correlate internal telemetry with external intelligence to identify threats, attack patterns and potential vulnerabilities.

• Develop threat-led phishing awareness and security education.

• Work across Information Security to ensure intelligence is operationalised and leads to meaningful improvements.

• Continuously improve threat intelligence processes, tools and ways of working.

What we're looking for

• Strong experience in Cyber Threat Intelligence, threat analysis, security operations or a related discipline.

• Proven experience producing and delivering executive-level threat briefings.

• Excellent stakeholder engagement skills and the ability to speak security to non-security people.

• The ability to translate complex cyber threats into clear business impact, risk and practical recommendations.

• Strong understanding of threat actors, TTPs, IOCs and the threat intelligence life cycle.

• Experience analysing intelligence from multiple sources, including OSINT and internal telemetry.

• Experience supporting cyber incident investigations or incident response.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills.

• Knowledge of MITRE ATT&CK and/or Cyber Kill Chain.

Desirable: CrowdStrike or Microsoft security experience, relevant CTI certifications such as CPTIA, CRTIA or SANS FOR578, and experience within a regulated environment.

Excellent benefits package

Alongside the opportunity itself, you'll receive a strong overall benefits package, including:

• 15% employer pension contribution

• Private medical insurance

• Income protection and life assurance

• Generous annual leave with buy/sell options

• Employee assistance and wellbeing support

• Excellent learning and development opportunities

• Cycle to Work scheme and season ticket loan

• Flexible, predominantly remote working

Why this role?

You'll have the opportunity to shape the threat intelligence function, influence senior decision-making and work across the organisation rather than operating solely within a technical security team.

If you're a threat intelligence professional who can move comfortably between technical analysis and senior stakeholder conversations, I'd be keen to hear from you.
